Could this be my problem

Well my EM light keeps coming on, and car drops revs, I release throttle and it goes again. I cant paperclip test my car, and I cant afford for vaux to do it

so.... im doing my own trouble shooting.

Ive checked all the plugs, cleaned air filter, cleaned ICV, reset ECU.

any other ideas.

Oh yer, and I totally ran out of petrol on the m62 the other week

could that have blocked my fuel filter? could this be whats causing the trouble?

If so, how do I remove it? Do i Clean it or replace it? How much from vaux if so.

Cheers

erm, pretty sure its like Â£5-10 to buy a new one never done it myself tho so not sure where it is, have an idea its drivers side on one of the pipelines that comes from fuel tank tho, from what ive heard piece of piss to do
ive had similar problems before when i HAD to use tesco petrol, stay away from the stuff, i find BP ok

Hmm, ive been using tesco/asda stuff solid for past few weeks.

yeah use BP or shell, and stick to it, u dont need to go all out and use super, but you\'ll see the difference after a few tanks
ive heard tesco just buy it from where ever, and it may well be water

optimax from shell is awesome, best u can get

Yer but... at 81.9p per litre compared to 88.9 ... what am i gonna buy?

88.9, tesco jsu isnt worth the hassle, wheres everyone else they\'d back me up on this

same here simong, doesn;t really make a difference does it. i sometimes go to tesco\'s, morrisons or wherever im nr.

breeze not sure if i had a problem like that when i first got my corsa, mine didn;t pull very well when going up hil\'s, turned out to be the pully slipping from the cog or something like that. but that might not be the same thing.
